Please allow me to reframe the point to help you perceive the lack of malice, antipathy, or callousness you're assuming.
OP asserts the position: Playing PbP requires years before you can accrue enough AcP to afford another AcP-locked ancestry.
Super Zero refutes by relaying their experience: In 10 months of only PbP play, they accrued enough AcP to purchase 2 Rare ancestries, not years.
(edit: and not just refute but also encourage that they can accrue faster than they think)
Now, Super Zero did fail to appreciate that the OP had stated that they were 1) only going to use one character at a time and 2) won't GM, and so I pointed out that by limiting oneself to that strategy, it would take considerably longer to accrue AcP.
Nobody said, "You're not playing enough" or "You're not playing the right way."

I recognize that statement. However, I also recognize that incentivizing GMing seems pretty intentional.
There are no games if nobody GMs. And you usually have to pay to GM, since you have to buy the scenarios!

I never claimed or hinted at malice being involved.
As for the rest, it goes back to the old argument of "it only takes X amount of time to get Y AcP".
Super got enough in 10 months; how many sessions, how often in those ten months? Can CaptainRelyk match that amount of playtime? Not according to their posts. Since it's going to take CaptainRelyk considerably longer, is Super's evidence relevant? To match Super's 10 months CaptainRelyk has to "play more" or GM/play more characters, the "right way" to earn AcP. And if they can't? Sorry, out of Luck.

AcP, for me, is easier overall for players to get boons than it was for PF1 and having to be a convention goer. Race Boons were given as GM boons, more and more in later seasons than earlier. There was Race Boons that were a part of the bonus roll later on.
Right now, if you register a PF2 character, there is beginner AcP banked into your account that should be enough for most of the Ancestry boons that is available. Also, the Kobold is freely available along with the Leshy (and I believe the Orc). There are some Ancestries and Heritages that have reduced costs.
I would say that limiting yourself to one character might be overdoing it, but if you can be open to having a second character after getting used to the game with the first, it might give you some perspective and insight on what to do next.
